Sources say Bashara was arrested for suspicion of trying to solicit the murder of Joe Gentz. Gentz has been charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in Jane Bashara's death. He was a handyman for Bob Bashara, helping him with various real estate throughout the Metro Detroit area.

Sources say Gentz told police he was forced to kill the Grosse Pointe Park mother under the order of her husband.

"I'm deeply disappointed," Griem said. "I had been guaranteed by both the Prosecutor's Office and the Police Department that after four months of doing everything that he was asked to do by police officials if charges were brought they would not go out and arrest him. They'd give me a phone call and I'd be allowed to surrender him."

-- Police impounded Bob Bashara's vehicle on June 25.

Griem said he was not surprised by the arrest. He said he does not believe it is for Jane Bashara's murder.

"It's clear to me that he has not been arrested for the murder of Jane Bashara or conspiracy to commit the murder of Jane Bashara," Griem said. "We'll see what the evidence is and we'll go from there."

Griem said he expects Bashara will be arraigned on charges on Wednesday.

"If I had to guess I would say the court appearance would be Wednesday," he said.
